The products handpicked for you will be packed in a specially designed bridal trousseau box. Price: Rs. 15,000 (includes products).

Christian Louboutin Wedding Suite

Cinderella had her glass slippers; the uberstylish bride has her Louboutins. At the Christian Louboutin Wedding Suite located at Horniman Circle, Mumbai, the bride and groom can try on shoes in a sumptuous, private setting and choose designs and customise them. The footwear can be embellished with initials, symbols or embroidery inspired by the bridal outfit so that it is truly one-of-a-kind. You can also get shoes made-to-measure where expert artisans measure your feet and create moulds to give you footwear that fits with precision. This process takes place at the atelier in Paris and comes with Christian Louboutin’s seal of approval. Due to the work that goes into creating these shoes, it can take a few months to receive the final product, so make sure you plan ahead.
